Why does my 3 1/2y.o. son keep saying that he wants to go home?

Hmmm, Did he go somewhere, from home, before he started to say this. I believe children are much more open minded and may see things, that the average
adult has become blind too

No. He's only lived here. They do go to the grand parents house, but when they ask to go there, they say "mamaw and papaws".

I always thought one of the scariest lines in any movie I ever saw (I can't even remember the move...fire in the sky??) was where this little boy's
being put to bed and he says to his dad: "I don't want the little doctors to come tonight" because he was being abducted by aliens every night.
Then I had kids of my own, and they say all sorts of weird stuff, and I don't discourage it because it's nice to let them develop their
imaginations.

What if he is a precog? You know and he thinks "His" home is that one you haven't moved into yet. Or maybe like my pot head friend (no offense here)
he just forgets he is home. You know that 3 year old brains not yet hardwired for total comprehension yet.

Now if he said "Daddy I was a King of Mesopotamia" or "Daddy I was the Tzar of Russia", or my personal favorite, "Daddy...I miss Atlantis!" then you
might have a case for reincarnation, cause as far as I have read only famous people make it back through for another spin cycle!

I am of course kidding. My daughter at that age could read and tell me about Dinosaurs...but I never put the correlation she could have been talking
from a past life!

So strange! My son (also coincidentally 3 1/2) says he wants to go home as well. When I asked him where home is he replied, " up in the Buddha
ship." Children are so sensitive to things most of us are oblivious to. It doesn't make me uneasy, just piques my curiosity!

So a 3 year old child is saying he wants to go home, while at home.
And people start jumping to conclusions that he must be experiencing some memory of his 'past life'. Kids have a vivid imagination. Then they listen
to their parents talking about reincarnations....

One of the best ways for him to express would be drawing. For a 3 yr old that might be a stretch, but he might be a prodige also lol.....ask him to
draw different pictures of "home". If he draws say, 5 different ones, you might have 1 where you might understand where home is for him, or you
might be confused, but its worth a shot.

Ask your other child to draw also before they forget!

Please post update on them if you or your wife are able to figure it out, good luck!

Well i was kinda skeptical at first reading your OP. but then reading on I realized the phenomenon is prevalent and historically there are famous
people who claimed to remember where they came from. I will name the obvious: Jesus. Its amazing that he didn't forget where he was from until the
day he died.

What I suggest you do, is take a tape recorder and just ask him to describe it. Its always good to keep a journal of these things. Who knows, maybe
answers will come one day.

It’s what happens on ATS, give it a couple of days and this thread will have close to 100 flags and a few hundred replies.

It’s what happens on ATs, after all it is a conspiracy site so I wouldn’t be to surprise by this, I just accept it now people get excited about
the prospect of precog kids or “proof” of reincarnation so people who hold such views will flock to this thread. It’s unfortunate but it’s
going to probably happen, and members like you and I may even end up getting flamed for being so dismissive of the idea because we’re not
“awake”.

Although there could be a number of different reasons, I definitely wouldn't put 'reincarnation' out of the question.
I recently read the book 'Only Love is Real' by Brian Weiss MD. If you've ever wanted to learn more about reincarnation or put some
scientific/academic research towards the idea, I would highly recommend checking out his books.

Also, this kind of reminds me of a little 3 year old girl I met a few months ago. Her mom brought her into my work and as I was checking them out the
girl was sitting on the counter top. She looked right at me and said 'I'm from mars.' I looked at her mom, whom laughed a little bit and said 'Oh,
she says that all the time.' They passed it off as a 'vivid imagination' but I couldn't help but think "I believe you!" I wanted to ask her more
questions about it, but I didn't want to make the mom uncomfortable.

Anyway, I would say to keep asking your kid about 'home.' Try to learn as much as you can about what 'home' is to him, and see how it changes as
he grows up.

Ever read the book 'Only Love is Real' by Brian Weiss MD (or any other of his books) ?

If not, I would recommend that you do. There is a lot more to reincarnation than you may think, and honestly, it's pretty ignorant to pass it off as
nothing without truly learning about reincarnation and the academic proof there is to back it up.

I believe the reason newborn humans are not able to communicate effectively until much later , is because they are not allowed to.

The mysteries of life and universe would be revealed if babies could talk right after birth.

But you know, after being saturated for a few first years with the sesame street freaks or stuffed fluffy animals that talk, telletubies, disney
etc, absolute little geniuses get manufactured into a few years down the assembly line. What a shame.

When I was around 4 yrs. old I remember standing at the kitchen sink and crying because I wanted to go home... but I was home. I did not want to stay
here, but I knew I had to.

I am in my fifties now, and I can still remember the sadness, the homesickness, the yearning to go back to a place I remember as being beautiful with
loving people all around.

Your child is "remembering" a REAL memory. I don't think all these people coming forward with children saying the same thing is something that is
coming from their imagination. I know my memories/feelings were as real as it gets... enough to make me cry my eyes out, and beg them to come get me!

Sadly thats more true, than not which is why I advocate the OP testing out the information. If the data his kid gives him has some merit, then the
conversation can evolve. Then again if this IS nothing more then a kids fantasy, then it can be written off, case closed.

"We of the un-awaken demand testing". (LOL that should be on a door somewhere)

For the last several months now, my son will say: "Daddy, I wanna go home." I say you are home son. Then he points in no particular direction and
says: "No daddy! I wanna go home." So I ask him where home is. Most of the time he looks around and just changes the subject or walks away. He's
told my wife this a bunch of times too. I believe in reincarnation and think this is what's going on here. It hurts me a little everytime he says it.
What I wanna know is, has anyone here had this happen? And how did you deal with it?

I'd also like to add that my other son, who is 4 1/2, was repeatedly talking about a "green lady" and a "helicopter crash" when he was 1 1/2, up
until now. He talked about it more then than he does now, though.

Thoughts? Comments?

All, start from above, and above is referred to as home to those who reference it. Most young ones will retain the memory of above before being
placed here.

Your other son could have seen the events play out before he was sent into the physical.

As far as past life's, that is possible he would remember, but it would not be in the body in this current cycle. He would have had to remember from
a previous cycle.
